The file is identified by ClamAV as 'Xls.Dropper.QbotDocu12020-9818439-0', strongly suggesting a Qbot family infection. As an Excel file, it likely employs social engineering to trick the user into enabling macros. Once enabled, the macro would execute, acting as a dropper to download and run a secondary malicious payload, consistent with Qbot's typical behavior.
